Stunning location, great service
Absolutely love the location of this yha. Right by Windermere
Was upgraded to a lake and Mountain View room, what’s not to like.

My go to place whenever I visit Ambleside. Best view and best prices for a young explorer. Mustn’t forget the great staff and lovely food, great location right by the lake for some peace and quiet and close enough to town for any shopping:)
Lovely place.
